Werdenfels Museum
Museum Werdenfels
A local folk museum on Ludwigstraße, displaying masks, carved Carnival masks, religious art and mountain life.
The Werdenfels Museum occupies a 17th-century house on Ludwigstraße and is the best place to learn about the history of the Werdenfels region. The galleries are arranged by theme: wooden carved masks for traditional Carnival (Fasnacht), religious folk art, farmhouse life, transport and trade, and the history of mountaineering and tourism. Explanations are in both German and English. Tickets cost about €3–5, and the museum is closed on Mondays (check the official website for details). A visit takes about an hour, making it a good rainy-day option that can be combined with a stroll through the painted old streets.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun 10:00–17:00; closed Mondays
